Choking risk: low
Remove hull, cut into quarters lengthwise. Or mash into yogurt or oatmeal. Watch for any reaction - strawberries occasionally cause mild skin reactions (not a true allergy, but worth noting).
Quartered or diced fresh strawberries. Large ones can be offered as a whole spear.
Whole (small ones), sliced, in smoothies, yogurt, baked goods.
Garden notes
Perennial - spreads via runners. Very rewarding for kids to pick. First-year plants produce less; better yield from year 2 onward.
Plant bare-root crowns in early spring or everbearing types in fall.
Harvest for baby
Pick fully ripe - they don't ripen further after picking. Slice for babies under 12 months.
